Once upon a time in a village, there was an old man named Jerry. He hadn\u2019t seen his son for few years and wanted to meet his son who lived in a city. So he started his journey and came to a city where his son used to work and stay. Then he went to the place from where he used to get letters long back. When he knocked the door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son. Unfortunately, someone else opened the door. Jerry asked, \u201cI suppose Thomas should be staying in this place.\u201d The person said, \u201cNo! He had left the place and shifted to a different location.\u201d Jerry was disappointed and just thinking how to meet his son.\n He started to walk in the street and the neighbors asked Jerry, \u201cAre you looking for Thomas?\u201d Jerry responded by nodding his head. The neighbors gave the present address and office address of Thomas to the Jerry. Jerry thanked them and started towards the path which will lead to his son. Jerry went to the office and asked at the reception counter, \u201cCould you please tell me the location of Thomas, in this office?\u201d The receptionist asked, \u201cMay I know how you are related to him?\u201d Jerry responded politely by saying, \u201cI\u2019m his father.\u201d The receptionist said, Jerry to wait for a moment and rang up to Thomas and conveyed the same. Thomas was shocked and told the receptionist to send his father to the cabin immediately.\n Thomas was happy to see his father. They had a simple conversation for a while and then Jerry asked Thomas, \u201cSon! Mom wants to see you. Can you Come home with me?\u201d\n Thomas responded, \u201cNo father. I can\u2019t come. I am very busy working for my success and it\u2019s hard to manage a leave to visit as my hands are full with loads of stressful work .\u201d Jerry gave a simple smile and said, \u201cOkay! You may do your work. I\u2019ll be going back to our village today evening.\u201d Thomas asked, \u201cYou can stay for few days with me. Please.\u201d Jerry responded after a moment of silence, \u201cSon. You are busy with your tasks. I don\u2019t want to make you uncomfortable or become a burden for you.\u201d Continued, \u201cI hope if ever had a chance to meet you again, I would be happy.\u201d He left the place.\n He felt guilty for it and took a leave in office for few days and went to his village to meet his father. When he went to the place where he was born and grew up, he saw that his parents were not there. He was shocked and asked the neighbors, \u201cWhat happened here? My parents have to be there. Where are they now?\u201d The neighbors gave the address of the place where his parents are staying.\n Thomas rushed to the place and noticed that the place was like a graveyard. Thomas eyes were filled with tears and started to walk slowly towards the place. His father Jerry noticed Thomas in a far distance and waved his hand to draw his attention. Thomas saw his father and started to run and hugged him.\n Jerry asked, \u201cHow are you?\u201d and continued, \u201cWhat a surprise to see you here. I didn\u2019t expect that you would be coming to this place.\u201d\n Jerry said, \u201cWhy are you feeling bad. Has anything wrong happened?\u201d Thomas responded, \u201cNo father\u201d continued, \u201cIt\u2019s just I never knew that I would be seeing you in this position in our village.\u201d\n Jerry smiled and said, \u201cI had taken a loan when you moved to a city for your college to pay for your education, then again when you wanted a new car, but due to a loss in farming, I couldn\u2019t repay the loan. So I thought of approaching you for a help, but you were very busy and stressed with your work. I just didn\u2019t want to burden you with this problem and remained silent and I had to let go of our home to repay the loan.\u201d\n Thomas whispered, \u201cYou could\u2019ve told me. I\u2019m not an outsider.\u201d Jerry turned around and said, \u201cYou were very busy and stressed with your work which made me remain quiet. All we wanted was your happiness. So I kept quiet.\u201d\n He apologized to his father and asked to forgive him for his mistake. Jerry smiled and said, \u201cNo need for that. I\u2019m happy with what I got now. All I want is that you spare some time for us, we love you very much and at this old age it\u2019s hard to travel to see you often.\u201d\n Moral: Parents will always be there and give everything they could just to make you happy. We take them for granted, we don\u2019t appreciate all they do for us until it\u2019s too late. When you find a path of success in your life, carry on but don\u2019t leave your parents behind as they are the true reason of your success.\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once upon a time in a village, there was an old man named Jerry.
